Any interest in a sequential gearbox?

If you are interested in a 6 speed sequential gearkit from Quaife (e.g. https://shop.quaife.co.uk/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?vehicle=4&product_type=12&sub_type=&manufacturer= 66&model=347&q=), email your interest to the following contact:


LOHEN LTD
Unit 11
Raleigh Hall Ind Estate
Eccleshall
Staffs
ST21 6JL
01785 859999
sales@lohen.co.uk
www.lohen.co.uk


They are currently discussing this project with Quaife and are more likely to pull the trigger if substantial interest is perceived.

I am surprised that they do not make a gearbox for the Mini when I look at the long list of gearboxes that they do build.

I am worried they may choose not to pursue the Gen1 MINI given it's age, but to me makes more sense since it is more of an enthusiast car than the succeeding generations. My wife's Gen2 JCW just isn't as fun to drive as my Gen1.

They are pricey there was something for the challenge series I think, But once you get good power going its a good option. They should do Gen1 and two they both had long runs and have built a fan base I hope they do it, Ill add it ti my list
